Synopsis

F.V. Edwards set this gut level story in the early 1950's when cultural and racial difficulties were seldom publicly discussed. Several states had segregation laws and silent forms of it were practiced in most other areas. Ray and Jo Ann collide at a corner in Biloxi. They are attracted like opposite magnetic poles with karmic undertones. The miscegenation laws combine with residual prejudicial practices of the military to force them apart. Unique characters in Biloxi, Paris, Las Vegas and southern California play supportive and antagonistic roles in ending and prolonging their separation. They include members of the Tuskegee Red Tail Angels, jazz musicians, a famous singer, high level military officers, a former Negro athlete, Ray's wealthy parents, and others are involved in myriad sometimes humorous difficulties and heartbreaking circumstances leading to their meeting again the summer of 1958.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

My skills as an author, speaker and inventor (19 US patents) have been recognized in the Medical device industry for several years. I took a James Gunn class in 2006 and was accepted into a critique group of published fiction writers. They fostered my transition from technical to publishable fiction. I've had two stories in major print anthologies and two other novels published while I worked on this one. I was first published in the National High School Poetry Anthology. My mother paid an agent to review a novel attempted the same year with encouragement from my English teacher. He made it clear I had talent, but had a lot to learn about the craft while gaining life experience. The education process and the focus on technology thus led to numerous articles and journal publications. Serious attempts at fiction had to wait for a window of opportunity in my busy career life.
